"Although there was a rule that the vassal kings should not enter the capital at will without an edict, they could enter the capital every three years. Du was very afraid of my father and the fifth uncle. Since Renzong ascended the throne, Du changed the rules set by Taizu. For more than 20 years, my father, the fifth uncle, and the King Fu and more than a dozen princes had never returned to the capital. Even if the emperor ascended the throne and died, the vassal kings were not allowed to return to the capital. My elder brother was two years older than Renzong. They played together when they were young. Later, after Renzong ascended the throne, Du never let my father go back to the capital again. However, when Renzong passed away, Du ordered my elder brother to take his eldest son to the capital to mourn.

My nephew was only two years old at that time, and such a young child could only be held by the wet nurse and cried. Let him follow him. It would be better to let me follow him. So I hid my nephew, but my father found out and I was punished to stance for an hour. The next day, my leg hurt so much. I lay down for a day, and then I realized that my elder brother had left."

Although many years have passed, Chai Yan is still full of righteous indignation when he speaks.

"You still hid your nephew? How old were you that year?" Yan Xuehuai felt funny.

"At ten or eleven years old, I hid Haozi under my bed. The boy cried and then revealed his feelings." Chai Yan sighed, very regretful.

Yan Xuehuai frowned slightly: "Have your elder brother really brought your nephew to Beijing?"

Chai Yan nodded: "Yes, but my elder brother has prepared a backup plan. After Haozi entered Beijing, Du asked him to send him to the palace and be close to her, the emperor's grandmother. So my elder brother asked the wet nurse to send Haozi over. Du hypocritically reached out to hug Haozi, and Haozi pulled off the forehead from her head and then pulled her earrings."

Yan Xuehuai widened his eyes when he heard this: "Is this what your elder brother taught in advance?"

"Of course not. Haozi is only two years old. My elder brother wants him to understand if he wants to teach. However, my elder brother fed him a lot of water in advance and calculated the time before sending him into the palace. He wanted him to pee on Du, and then let the wet nurse accused him and carried him out of the palace. Unexpectedly, the boy performed on the spot and almost pulled Du's ears open. Haozi grabbed Du's earrings and refused to let go, and the palace maid dared not break his fingers. The wet nurse said, "The little prince likes gems, who has something to carry gems?" The palace maid quickly took a gold bracelet with gems inlaid. Haozi really let go of Du's earrings and went to grab the gold bracelet. Du was very embarrassed, probably because he felt that he was fighting with this kid. Until my elder brother and the others left Beijing, Du did not mention leaving Haozi in the palace."

Chai Yan laughed loudly, and Yan Xuehuai also made a joke: "Your nephew really likes gems?"

"Yes, I like it now. He may have more gems of various colors than my mother. That time, Du wore a pair of sapphire earrings. Later, I heard from my elder brother that Du has never worn gem-inlaid jewelry since then."

Yan Xuehuai really couldn't imagine what a boy who liked various gemstones looked like.

"That wet nurse, I mean the wet nurse who accompanied your nephew into the palace that day, is she really just a wet nurse?"

Chai Yan was stunned and the corners of his mouth curled up again. Why is his coriander so smart?

When he heard about this, he didn't notice the wet nurse at all. It was a while ago that he knew the identity of the wet nurse.

"You must not think of who she is?" Chai Yan kept it a secret.

Yan Xuehuai thought for a moment: "This happened seven years ago, and it's not long since now. Could that wet nurse be the subordinate of Zhou Dazhen's boss?"

Chai Yan...

"How did you think of it?"

Yan Xuehuai raised her eyebrows: "I guessed it, did I guess right?"

Chai Yan looked at Yan Xuehuai with appreciation and was extremely comfortable talking to smart people.

"Well, you guessed it right. That was Bai Erniang, the sister-in-law of Zhou Dayuan. She had never been to the capital. No one in the capital had seen her. In addition, she was somewhat similar to Haozi's wet nurse, so she carried Haozi into the palace."

Yan Xuehuai was even more convinced of the relationship between the Yu Palace and the Cao Gang. That is, the Empress Dowager thought that she would not let the Yu Palace enter the palace and would have cut off the intention of King Yu's desire to seize the throne.

Thinking of this, she thought of King Fu, and a thought suddenly flashed through her mind: "King King Fu has long been rebellious."

Chai Yan smiled and said, "Maybe it, my mother said that no parents really want to raise their own flesh and blood to become useless, but some people don't teach their children. But King Fu seemed to deliberately raise all his sons. He did it too deliberately, so he showed clues. If he really had no idea about that position, he would not have tried his best to make Qi Wei become his son-in-law."

First it was Chai Jing, and later there was Chai Shu, Yan Xuehuai even suspected that even King Fu knew about Chai Shu trapping Qi Wei in Jueming's house.

Chai Yan sneered: "He has no soldiers, nor can he lead the troops. What he can do is to use his two daughters. But we still underestimate him. Unexpectedly, over the years, he actually grabbed Qi Wei's son. I really underestimated this old guy before."

Just as Yan Xuehuai guessed, Chai Shu raised Qi Ying not for a year or two, but for more than ten years. If King Fu did not know what his daughter did, Yan Xuehuai would not believe it even if he beaten to death.

King Fu acquiesced to Chai Shu's ability to do this.

Chai Shu may have done this because of love, but what about King Fu? Why did he acquiesce to his daughter to do such a ridiculous thing?

If Qi Ying's father was not Qi Wei, but an ordinary official, would King Fu still acquiesced to his daughter do this?

Yan Xuehuai snorted, the Empress Dowager and the Little Emperor chose to move the capital to Xinjing, which was really not smart.

Xinjing is the territory of King Fu, who has been operating here for more than 20 years.

Even the palace is in the Fu Palace.

The next afternoon, news from the palace finally came out.

Lu Jinxing hurried to find Chai Yan: "What happened, something really happened."

Chai Yan frowned: "What's wrong?"

"Empress Hu is crazy. Now he is under house arrest by Wei Ming. The young emperor is also imprisoned with Empress Hu, saying that he is serving the disease."

Chai Yan smiled and asked, "How did you know about this? The hidden thread in the palace has been contacted?"
